Script is not catching Values in Querystring !!

[subho_n]

Hi
i am new in PHP. And i am faced with a very simple and funny prob , i am some how not able to trap the value passed via the querystring.

my calling php script has
<A Href="a_product_edit.php?p_id=<?php echo($row['p_id']);?>">[Edit]</A>

and my called script has the following code to trap the querystring value

$pid = $_GET['p_id'];
echo "You have clicked $pid";

but some how the value is not trapped , it simple ignores the values passed to p_id

Can some one plz help me on this ?
Thx in advance

PS:
1. I have even tried $HTTP_GET_VARS['p_id']

2. My php.ini has the setting for register_globals on
   i.e.
   register_globals = On

3. My querystring shows like:
   http://localhost:79/inventory/a_product_edit.php?p_id=1

4.I am using Apache server on windows

With your register_globals on - can you simply echo $p_id ?

Yes i can.
But i have solved the prob, since i come from asp/vb env where declaring a variable outside any function makes it automatically visible any where, i was trying to apply the same principle in php and that is why it was not working 🙂

But thanks anyway
